In this hands-on cooking class, you'll learn all about the intricate food from four South American nations. Chef Gustavo will teach you time-honored cooking techniques along the way, as you handcraft classic recipes.

Begin by preparing fresh Peruvian ceviche followed by a lemony quinoa salad filled with the flavors of Bolivia. Then, you'll taste the savory flavors of Argentina with beef empanadas and finish up with classic Venezuelan arepas filled with chicken, arugula and avocado. As you cook, Chef Gustavo will teach you about the fascinating history and culture behind each bite.

Warm. Welcoming. Well-traveled. Chef Gustavo welcomed us into his home and shared his love of South American cuisine. From the tips to how best prep ingredients for multiple recipes to the sharing of cultural stories and knowledge, we learned so much, had inspiring conversation, and helped to prepare delicious food. This was the perfect Christmas present for my husband! We look forward to practicing what we learned and making some South American inspired meals.
